Welcome

Pixel, a small bit of code, a speck on your screen, a unit of measurement. Add to that pixel another and another still, and you have the building blocks of design—the foundation that will support your project in its entirety. We like to define our name as the “measure of great design.”

There are no limits to creativity… imagination knows no boundaries. Welcome to our playground.

Welcome to Pixel Graphic Design Studio.

History

Formed in June of 2005, Pixel Graphic Design Studio began under the direction and inspiration of Doug Neiner.

Pixel Graphic Design Studio combines Doug’s creative eye for design and his experience and knowledge of computers with creative designers and artists. Behind the scenes at Pixel Graphic Design Studio stands a creative team of personnel who are committed to finding creative solutions, meeting deadlines, and producing the best in design.

MOSS // Manager of Studio Systems

Perhaps the hardest working employee at Pixel Graphic Design Studio is MOSS. He is our ‘Manager of Studio Systems’, defender of our policies and personal bodyguard to us all. He is the one that maintains our business hours, sharpens our work ethic, defends our production schedule and who ultimately is responsible for getting us back home to our families at the end of the day. Here at Pixel we all owe a lot to this faithful and tidy little bot.
